In other words, what's worth more Luck/Bradford/RG3 starting now and a significant loss of draft picks or Tannehill (or whoever) starting in 2 years with all your draft picks and maybe more?

Indirectly, I don't care about players' salaries or the salary cap. What's ****s with me is the "Dream Team" fallacy. Manning and the "highest paid quarterback" nomenclature that comes along with signing him and being able to continue to build the team through the draft sounds great. And no, don't draft Tannehill or any QB at 6th overall unless it's Luck or RG3. And do you guys think Manning will have some influence on the draft? Are we still in hypothetical land? Good. Manning may not be peeking into the war room come draft day but, it would be a smart thing to put in a few cogs to keep Manning from appearing over-the-hill. One has to consider that there hasn't been a legitimate QB groomed under Manning. Why think Tannehill, Cousins, or whoever will be the first? The Skins would be better off Signing Archie...
